Dang It. And double dang it because titles can't have italics.

me: did you do the additional practice too?

8:17 PM Sam: yes

me: do you have it?

Sam: yes

me: do you want to try and explain it

to a slow learner?

8:18 PM Sam: which one?

me: 6b

Sam: whats the question?

8:19 PM me: If the pattern continues, what is the total # of squash that would be produced by day 22? By day 26?

Sam: yeah?

how do you not get that

wich word

whcih

which

me: no

8:20 PM im trying the cross multiplication

Sam: why?

me: but i keep getting like

.4 squash

Sam: that makes no sense!

me: i dunno

is there a different way?

Sam: wait

me: sorry sorry

Sam: ok

so

at 15

you have 1

me: mhm

Sam: and then at 16

you have 3

and then you have 5

me: yeah

Sam: then7

then 9

then 11

me: ok

Sam: etc

me: sure

yeah

8:21 PM Sam: its really not that complicated

just continue the pattern

me: well okay

that seems....too easy

Sam: it isnt

you are over thinking it

all they want to do

is make you continue the pattern

me: patterns

ok

8:22 PM so scratch the one over 360 equals x over 880 hours?

Sam: huh?

8:23 PM me: i coulda sworn i was onto something

Sam: uh...

i hate to say this

but

my opinion of you

sort of dropped slightly

me: okay

8:24 PM 1) ouch

2) doesnt everyone overanalyze sometimes?

Sam: well

not that far

me: it was because

a squash would grow every 12 hours

since each day there are two more

and a day is 24 hours

8:25 PM Sam: only after

15

me: no i know

Sam: and the equation is

me: i had incorporated that in there

Sam: y=(x-15)2-1

me: ok

well i didnt get that equation

because i was

8:26 PM multiplying 22 by 24

to do is in hours

Sam: right

me: *it

i know it was wrong, okay?

im not dumb

well, i kinda feel that way right now

maybe i am

8:27 PM but it made....there was a chance it could have led...it felt like i was onto something at the time

Sam: just

leets talk about something else

me: ok

8:28 PM Sam: i g2g
